Title: Goose bumps?
Location: Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM), Kepong, Kuala Lumpur
Date: 13 December 2008, 8.46am
Camera: Nikon D60 with Aperture: f/6.3, ISO Equiv.: 100

While I was jogging, I noticed a huge tree with lots of small brownish growth on the leaves. I discovered these growth are actually a type of disease that will eventually eat away the leaf - causing it to die prematurely.

Title: The tree bark
Location: Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM), Kepong, Kuala Lumpur
Date: 13 December 2008, 9.39am
Camera: Nikon D60 with Aperture: f/5.6, ISO Equiv.: 110

This tree is a towering and huge living specimen in the forest. The rough skin is simply amazing.

Title: Lean on me

A lone leaf growing on a trunk.

A dead piece of leaf among some healthy fern plants.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Title: The red flower

Camera: Nikon D60 with Aperture: f/5.6, ISO Equiv.: 200

An interesting flower with some fire ants crawling all over. The tip of the flower must have lots of sweet nectar.

Title: There is life
Location: Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM), Kepong, Kuala Lumpur
Date: 13 December 2008, 10.22am
Camera: Nikon D60 with Aperture: f/5.6, ISO Equiv.: 125

Only minimal sunlight is reaching the forest floor. Nonetheless, this plant is growing extremely well.

Title: The morning forest
Location: Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM), Kepong, Kuala Lumpur
Date: 13 December 2008, 10.15am
Camera: Nikon D60 with Aperture: f/5.0, ISO Equiv.: 200

Seems like evening time - but this shot was taken during morning time. The Sun is clearly visible in this picture.

Mr. Chee,

Greetings to Mr. Chee!! Glad to have an official from FRIM visiting my photo blog and travelogue!!. You must be Mr. Chee Beng Jin :)

I am/will and always in LOVE with N.A.T.U.R.E. I'll try my best to educate young people about the importance to preserve and take good care of our lush greeneries.

Taking some time to visit our treasured natural forest is simply amazing and a damn good way to free oneself from the hectic and stressful life in the city.

Besh wishes and cheers!
